drooping Tail and kind of a hump where back meets tail

[animallover505]

All other 4 keep their tails up, but hers' droops and she is almost a hump back. She is a dominiker, and she sits a lot. Anyone?

 

[animallover505]

that is her closest to the bottom.

The pic is not coming through....sounds like coccidiosis. How old is she?

 

[animallover505]

a year. She doesn't act sick, just the drooping tail and the way the back comes up some because of the droop.

 

[animallover505]

It could be heat and the stress of moving, though.

 

[leadwolf1]

has she been laying?

 

[animallover505]

I just got her today, I'm not sure if she has today. I don't think she is egg-bound or anything.

 

[leadwolf1]

I would call the person you got her from and take her back. It isn't a good idea to start with sick chickens.

 

[animallover505]

It is my friend, she acted fine over there. I'll give her a little while, I think it is stress.

Ok. Stress can bring on a bunch of stuff...maybe you should give her some vitamins and electrolytes to try and perk her up.
